Phil Hellmuth finally obtains his first title since winning his record 15th WSOP bracelet last year.

The Poker Brat beat six players in heads-up showdowns to win the 2019 Borgata Winter Poker Open heads-up event held in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He was the last man standing in a player field of 64 in Event #16: $1,590 NLHE Heads-Up and bagged $37,248. This is actually Phil Hellmuth's very first Borgata Poker Open trophy.

On January 18th, 2014, the New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement cancelled the opening event ($2 million guaranteed prizeopool) of the 2014 Borgata Winter Poker Open after concluding that someone had used a significant number of counterfeit chips in the tournament.
